Even in Calgarys REAL ESTATE Market, we are affected by the weather, when its nice we see people get that " feeling" they are starting to think about making a change, bigger, smaller, newer etc...when the temps are -20C like we saw in December, evyone goes into hibernation, but when the Chinooks hit, there's always a bit of an increase in overall activity. 

meeting 2 sets of new clients today, which to me is really a sacred thing. I've always believed that what we do as realtors is more than just selling homes. I think it's a pretty neat thing when we get to help families transition to new space and a  different house to watch your kids grow, add a family pet or simplify, and get rid of the big house with all the memories.

Today I'm getting my buyers qualified with existing rates still Very Attractive, it's the most important step, and one that many buyers overlook.It's important to have an understanding of what you can afford, before getting excited about something your brothers, friend's aunt saw on-line on  realtor.ca and also to know the options available re: interest rates and the latest terms available to ...

It seems like in certain segments of the market there is a shortage of listings essentially.  One of these areas is Certainly "Garrison Woods".  The inner sanctum down to Flanders south, and north to 33rd Ave  and West to 20th Street is kind of the epi-centre of the area.  Some of the Brownstone condo's in there are just starting to show a bit of age from 10-12 years ago and some are Finished ...
